Remote Services. Important advices about the
holds in order to improve how they work
If there are several editions, but they are alike, make several reservations
If you notice there are few copies of a document, please ask us to purchase
additional ones
If you want to know your position in the queue and the estimated waiting
time, check your user status. If you are not interested in the reservation any
more, please cancel it
Inform us immediately if you are told you have a reserved document
available and this does not concern you any more
Be careful whith the additional materials: place the hold only on the item you
are interested in (i.e. DVD with 2 discs: one with the film and another with the
extras; documents in several volumes,…)
If we do not contact you in a reasonable time, contact us: perhaps the delay
is due to a return delay, to a very long queue or because you have made a
reservation on special project or annual loan items.
